Agreement will be used solely for the purpose of providing the Services identified in the
applicable Site License Authorization and that Licensee will not install unauthorized
Equipment for any purpose or use its authorized Equipment to offer or provide any other
services. Licensee's failure to comply with these limitations will constitute a material
breach of this Agreement.For unauthorized Equipment City,after providing written notice
to Licensee, may impose liquidated damages in an amount not to exceed $1,000, and in
addition, Licensee shall from the date of such written notice be obligated to pay for such
unauthorized Equipment an amount which is five times the applicable fee in Section 4.1

such services in amended Site License Authorization(s).

The Aggregate Annual Fee to be paid with respect to each year of the term will be
based on an amount equal to (i) the sum of the number of(a) Streetlight Poles or other
similar Municipal Facility upon which Equipment was installed (prorated as appropriate
based on Installation Date set forth in the Site License Authorization to the anniversary of
the Effective Date and based on 365 days),and(b)Streetlight Poles or Municipal Facilities
which were not initially installed but contained Equipment, during the preceding 12
months multiplied by the annual Pole Fee; and (ii) collectively, the annual Non-Pole Fee

Authorization to the anniversary of the Effective Date and based on 365 days). The

anniversary of the Effective Date. If Licensee discovers any error in the amount of
compensation due, the City shall be paid within 30 days after discovery of the error or
determination of the correct amount, including interest at the rate specified in Section 4.4.

greater amount was actually due or from collecting any balance that is due.
4.2 CPI Adjustment. Commencing on the first anniversary of
the Effective Date and continuing on each anniversary thereafter during the term,the Pole
Fee and Non-Pole Fee for the ensuing year will be adjusted by a percentage amount equal
to the percentage change in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics

of a demand for payment by City, Licensee must promptly reimburse City for those costs,
which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
